We only use Carnaroli rice – the “king of the rice”; thanks to its particular characteristics and firm texture the Carnaroli grain maintains its shape during the slow cooking required for a perfect and creamy risotto. Our broad offering includes truffle oil and Parmigiano risotto, bay scallops with home made pesto and an inspired Vin Santo risotto with asparagus and prosciutto.A taverna in Italy is a special place where customers become friends and family. Here we celebrate the essence of hospitality and farm-to-table cooking reflecting our authentic Italian style.

Brought my stepmother here for her birthday and Sky made sure we had a wonderful experience. The steak salad was good, but the bread pudding they brought her as a surprise was to DIE for! Thank you Haywire for making it a wonderful experience!

Amazing restaurant! The traditional, family style dishes were amazing. The entire staff was awesome and very knowledgeable, friendly and conversational. Everything about the ambiance was perfect, including the music and the old Italian movies playing on the screen.

I loved my food. I questioned how a restaurant could make so many different things well, but I loved everything I ordered. I split a sushi roll, salad, and pasta with a friend. The value was great!

We’ve been to this thirsty lion multiple times and I feel it’s better than some of the other ones we visited in the DFW area. The only downside is it’s pretty loud, even when I’ve gone on a weekday, but we just expect it now. The service is great, and the food is amazing. Tasty and very fresh and always hot. I definitely recommend making a reservation because instead of having to wait an hour, our table was ready when we arrived at 7 o’clock on a Saturday night.
